The rules of life were fixed. Life was cold, wet, and unhappy. Then someone worked out how to break the rules with fire.
The rules of life were fixed. Life was violent, brutal, and short. Then someone worked out how to break the rules with bows.
The rules were fixed, then came iron. Navigation. Soap. Contraception.
Every time the rules of life seemed fixed, someone discovered something that broke them.
And then someone discovered magic, and that seemed to break the rules permanently.
But magic had the most rules of all.
Until someone worked out how to break those too.
